The answer.

I neuer saw so loose dealing of any, but of such as both wil∣lingly deceiue themselues, and labour to beguile others. The A∣postle telleth that faith worketh by charitie, and you thereupon conclude, that to beléeue compriseth the acts of faith, hope, and charitie. How this conclusion followeth, neither I sée, neither can you make it euident. But let it he granted you, then how can you excuse your selues of intollerable lieng and slandering, when al∣most euery where you speake of the doctrine of iustification by faith and beléeuing, as though hope and charitie were from faith exiled and banished. But your shifts are foule, and manifest slanders where you may, and when by plaine euidence of the text you are beaten from them, then it is not ynough for hope and charitie to accompanie faith, but they must be also comprised of faith.
